=============================

I confirmed that there is no version file/directory under .Kobo
I checked for others with this problem but didn't see a solution posted...thanks in advance for any advice.
I uninstalled Calibre, reinstalled, ran repair, welcome wizard, still get this error. I can see all of my Kobo content fine through Windows.

I was trying to fix one problem with my Kobo and I created another.
I was getting the error (reader has no storage card)
I read ticket #7338 and tried to follow instructions carfully, but I have created more, problems.
